Modeling and Numerical Simulations in Petroleum Engineering
This special issue belongs to the section “Energy Science and Technology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modeling and numerical simulation are wildly used in petroleum engineering for oil and gas exploration and production. The application fields include drilling and completions, production and facilities, oilfield chemistry, enhanced oil recovery, reservoir evaluation and engineering, data analytics, multiphase flow in porous media, multi-phase flow in wellbore, flow assurance and security, CO2 Sequestration in geological formations/sub-surface, development of unconventional resources such as tight oil, tight gas, coal bed methane, and gas hydrate. The Special Issue “Modeling and Numerical Simulations in Petroleum Engineering” will address the most recent advances in modeling methods and simulation techniques in oil and gas sectors. Submissions should discuss the use of modelling and numerical simulations in petroleum industry.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- drilling and completions simulation
- multi-phase wellbore flow simulation
- multiphase, multicomponent flow in porous media
- modelling and simulation of hydraulic fracture
- flow simulation inside artificial lift systems
- flow assurance analysis and modeling
- numerical simulation of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
